    Breaking the law is breaking the law but it is in my belief when it's done from the right morale stand point, there is an exception there. Ali is a hero of mine and honestly what snowden did can be respected too. Can't say that with other people that break the law. So should Rosa parks did the time she did or do you believe she belonged in jail? despite her being bailed out and not spending much time, she did get charged for something she did that was morally right

    If Snowden is found not guilty then he won't need a pardon.

    He needs to leave Russia and come back to this country.

    After he does that and if he is convicted then we can talk about a pardon.

    I don't understand why you so firmly believe in the justice system when it has been proven how terrible it is time and time again. If you have a great lawyer, you can get away with things as proven with OJ's case or this documentary I watched which is actually good, the guy is a psycho. It's called the Jinx and it's about Robert durst. This dude got off on murder, ultra rich. Not to mention in some parts of this country weed gets people put in prison for years and years. Of course they will find Snowden guilty, he embarrassed America and this country is too prideful to be embarrassed by a citizen, they would put him away forever

    peaceful protest has brought the most dramatic and lasting change world wide. when morally wrong meets morally right, wrong is most often exposed for what it is and attitudes change. ghandi, martin luther king, parks, Tianmen square, mandela after going to prison. the alt left-antifa has to an unwelcome extent in my opinion, hijacked an opportunity for progress inthis country and I for one am deeply disappointed in their actions. judicial reforms have been very important in recent times that even the uber right Koch brothers are behind it. violence begets violence nothing more.

    I think this is a pretty good take on it all

    I am not surprised he pardoned Sheriff Joe. It's his right as president, although I disagree with it. But, he didn't have to act like Sheriff Joe is an American hero for breaking the law. That's beyond ridiculous.

    On and on. Great guy. Glad our "president" aligns himself so closely with these awful, awful human beings, and he's proud of it

    All I will say is people may not be worried about that RALLY, but they are worried about the group. Two different things. And those people have made a lot of peoples lives' harder. So, just because your life isn't harder than that, there are millions of peoples who lives ARE harder than that, because they are directly affected by them.

    Just because it doesn't directly affect you, doesn't mean it should be water under the bridge, IMO.

    Also, America is getting affected by those people. All those other things are happening too, and it's awful and terrible, and should be seen too. We have real issues here, and someone who is being passive about it. (He doesn't deserve to be named) That is a recipe for a lot of damage in this country.

    Let it be known I am not mad at you, or all that - I just think downplaying the drastic division that is happening in this country isn't good either. The world has problems, to that there is no doubt. But like they say, take care of your house too.

    I mean sure, not in my situation. It's water under the bridge for me. I don't know how that group affects people considering they are a large minority here. Everybody dislikes them. I am not down playing it but I can't recall the last neo nazi rally before that one that was any sort of that size. Media took it and over dramatized it for a week straight. Personally I would be more concerned about Antifa considering they haven't stopped and people actually back them as opposed to those neo nazis. I don't think anybody should be concerned about them, they aren't rallying in your cities like antifa is

    and I believe division is more so occurring at the hands of the people than anybody else influencing anything. It's all ideologies and bias just making division worse.
